Anyone who is in edinburgh on new year's day and fancies kicking off the new year with an energetic start may like to do the edinburgh triathlon.
It will take place at the commonwealth pool (which I think is near Holyrood) with the run/bike being around (and maybe up) Arthur's Seat. (250m above sea level if you go all the way up).
I'm mentioning it now because I'm entering it and am on the waiting list as it's already full - however the organiser has said he's making 50 more places available so you can still get in if you hurry.
So if you wanna do it don't delay. It would be good to see a London contingent up there.
Cheers,
Maria
